I usually don't like this kind of book, but this one is really good! Even though it is in the mystery section, if you like adventure books, you should definetly read this series. Sometimes it is a little confusing but I understand everything in a few minutes. This is a fast paced book with an ongoing chase and lots of characters that I can't keep track of. I recomend this book to anyone who likes everything I just described, even if you don't like what I just described you should read this book....
One False Note Pre-Reading Checklist☐ I like classical music☐ I have snotty, backstabbing cousins☐ I would love to visit Austria and Venice☐ I have an annoying little brother☐ I have an annoying older sister☐ My cat is a picky eater☐ If I'll ever be a part of a car chase, I have a feeling I'd be a naturalRATINGS OF OTHER BOOKSBook 1: The Maze of Bones ★★★★★
One False Note picks up right where we left off in The Maze of Bones. Dan and Amy head to Austria to find their next clues. Their competitors make occasional appearances, all with their wealth, power and fame, but the two Cahills actually have the brains, so it's no surprise tabs are being kept on them. I liked the creativeness of the clues of (D>HIC and the cake 'gateau' business). The next book looks like it packs another awesome adventure in Japan. I am fascinated with where the story is head...
I firmly believe that writing for kids should still reflect good writing. Just because they're kids doesn't mean that you should throw in a bunch of explosions or fighting to keep them interested. No, I believe that children, like adults, learn how to write from what they read. I'm not just talking about grammar, here. I'm talking about style, descriptions, expression -- the whole shebangbang.And the better the writing is now, the better it will be in the future, when today's kids grow up and wr...
This is a really great adventure series centered around orphaned Amy (14) and Dan (11) Cahill. There grandmother has died and set their family off on a world wide adventure to discover the 39 clues that will lead to a price that will grant enough wealth and power to possibly rule the world! The kids are fresh and natural with each other and very personable. The adventure are fast paced, almost like watching a movie. The way the authors weave historical facts into the mystery makes it extremely e...
I had a hard time putting this one down. This story kept me hopping and guessing what the next clue would be. My biggest disappointment was that not all the Cahill relatives played a big part in this story. I'm anxious for the next one.
Another fun installment in the 39 CLUES series!Here, in book two, author Gordon Korman takes the helm from Rick Riordan to steer the Cahill siblings toward their next destination and their next big clue.It's obvious that Korman and Riordan have different writing styles, and I admit it took me a few chapters to adjust, but once I did I ended up enjoying Korman's style quite a bit and felt he continued with the feel of the characters and the structure of the plot.Are the books literary masterpiece...
3.25 Silver StarsWith Golden Sparksthe adventure continuessearching for clues, solving mysteries,the Family business!I wanted to give this book 4 stars, only because of lots of "LOL", I had a great time reading it. but to have a fair rating, the plot was good & engaging, but not that much interesting to make me obsessed, though it made me curious. (maybe it's because the lack of magic)we discovered more about the history of the Cahills & its branches. (I love this branch!)I was solving the puzzl...
Dan and Amy Cahill and they're o'per Nelly found the first clue from Mozart. The clue leads them Vienna Astraea. They're brutal relatives are on they're tail. Will they find the next clue, or will they walk into a deadly trap! What does iron solute half to do with anything?
Better than the first one, but still not great. Pushing through with the series in the hopes that it will keep improving, though.Plus, I've thought up a fun little prompt for myself for January, which this one kicked off: as many short audiobooks (under 5 hours) as I can cram into 31 days. Aiming for 10, but that might be too optimistic...will do my best to get the other 9 done alongside my other reading!
Vienna, Salzburg and Venice – the treasure hunt continues. The author of this book is not the same as the previous book’s, so the writing style is noticeably different. It bothered me first, but as the story progressed, I got used to it. Still exciting, entertaining story. Recommended! Their one chance was to get lost in the maze of canals. But this was not to be. Just ahead, the tight channel fed into an expansive waterway bustling with marine traffic."The Grand Canal," Amy said with awe. "A...
This is book 2 in the 39 Clues series. When I finished book one, I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue on with the story. Now that I'm done with book 2, however, I have to know how the story ends. The 39 clues lead to a prize which promises great fame for whoever solve the puzzle. In this volume Amy and Dan Cahill are hot on the trail of clue number 2. Their search takes them to France, Salzburg, and finally to Venice all in search of famous places connected to the life of composer Wolfgang Amad...
Just as good as the first book! I love the conclusion of the book as well as how Amy and Dan's relationship is changing.

Following the events of The Maze of Bones, the protagonists Amy and Dan Cahill learn about Mozart and travel to Vienna, Austria to search for the second clue in the 39 Clues competition.

This series just keeps going on to be really good. I did enjoy every single page of this book. It is totally recommendable!
4.5 starsMm, this one lacked a climax, but I don't quite feel like writing a full review. Also, how come Natalie and Ian have got top-notch surveillance all over Venice, but the Janis stronghold doesn't even seem to have a single security guard, let alone any cameras? Makes it way too easy for our main characters. Still, the Clue-hunt wasn't bad, and I loved the musical aspects of this!««Recommended for...»»☐ Reluctant/impatient readers☐ Children grades 3-6☐ Those who love fact-paced reads☐ Musi...
This series is very fun to read and I love it. I need to get the third book.
Quite liked rereading this, especially for nostalgic reasons. For someone who likes Mozart, music and art, this is a fascinating read (although it's of course not the most realistic). 3 stars!
These books are so good!!! I am like seriously not kidding. These books, unlike some other middle grade I have reread recently and didn't have half a heart to rate two stars from the first 50 pages, are actually good for all ages. Yes, they are appropriate for younger audiences, but the enjoyment isn't gone for older ones. :)
A Quickie ReviewLike a Saturday morning action/adventure serial, the 39 Clues books--at least, so far--feature plenty of action and adventure. It also contains historical and geographic details about real-life people and places, much like the Carmen Sandiego franchise. It's been a while since I've read the first book, but, I was able to understand this second one fairly well. If you haven't checked this series out...you should!Content Concerns:Sex: None. 5/5Nudity: None. 5/5Language: One misuse
